You Know You Are A Cyclist When.....

1) You put on your jeans and they already have the right leg rolled up.

2) You do laundry when you don't have any more clean bike shorts.

...When you buy a mini fan for sitting at work after riding in to cool off and de-sweat.

...When you justify having 3 different sets of tires for one bike because it is a winter commuter and you never know the conditions you might face.

...When you justify having more bikes than people can ride in your household.

...When you live by rule #5 and #90.

When someone compliments you on your calf tattoo and it's only an imprint from your greasy chain ring.

When you think nothing of comparing chain ring cuts/scars with a co-worker

You know you're a cyclist when...

Your 5 month old daughter totally recognizes you when wearing your cycling team's kit and your helmet.

LOL. Mine loves her helmet now and hands me mine.

...when, even though every forecast you've seen calls for rain AND there's going to be unavoidable concert traffic, you must ride to work anyway.

Because bikes.

When you're using old spokes as pokers for your bong.

You choose your daycare based not on how long it will take to drive or walk but your bike commute. Ours now.... 5 minutes!
